[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Pound-for-pound contender Vasyl Lomachenko will defend his WBO super-featherweight world title exclusively live on BoxNation against Miguel Marriaga on August 5th. The two-division world champion and one of boxing's hottest talents will take on top-10 rated Marriaga from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles. Following his ninth-round stoppage of former WBA super-featherweight world champion Jason Sosa in April, Lomachenko will be looking to impress once again against the big-punching Marriaga.

Gotta love tbe quality of those free Boxnation streams. Also although I do find that Bunche guy exceptionally poor and somewhat ****** that Barry Jones is one of the best commemtatators around, I hold him in as high regard as I hold Paulie. Absolutely mop the floor with Teddy Atlas, Lederman and Stephen A Smith who can't score a fight for shyt.

I am but fighting recent leftovers from a 126 pound champ is not a good look. If he had reached out to one of the 126 pound champs, I would be less critical. He is passed the point where he should be fighting Valdez's recent leftovers or any other champs recent leftovers. Even HI-TECH one of his biggest fans disproved as well. Thats saying something.

And where is it you think this money is going to come from to pay them ?

Regardless, this is more of an exhibition anyway, a fight designed to make Lomachenko look good to terrestrial television, a wider audience to build up yet more hype for an already impressive career.
